Triple Creek Merlot 2020 by Triple Creek Winery in the western Barossa Valley is a plush, vibrant red that was originally earmarked for blending but shone so brightly it had to be bottled solo. It’s a seriously inviting Barossa Merlot with immediate crowd‑pleasing appeal.

In the glass you’ll find lifted aromas of ripe red fruits, juicy plum and a lick of sweet vanilla, with gentle oak adding spice and depth. The palate is medium‑bodied and velvety, packed with layered berry and plum flavours, bright acidity and a long, moreish finish that keeps you reaching back.

This Triple Creek 2020 Merlot is a versatile food wine – spot on with herb‑crusted lamb rack, mushroom risotto or char‑grilled pork. It also works a treat alongside a semi‑hard cheese platter, making it ideal for everything from relaxed Friday nights to smart, sit‑down dinners.
